Trinity Rodman opened up the scoring in the 9th minute before Angel City came back and took a 2-1 lead thanks to an own goal and Sydney Leroux header. Then Rodman, Casey Krueger, and Ouleye Sarr scored in quick succession to put the Spirit up 4-2. The six goals tied an NWSL first half record.
The wet field caused a lot of slipping and two players, Angel City’s Sarah Gordon and the Spirit’s Sarr came off due to injuries. Angel City racked up 5 yellow cards in their attempt to regain control. The 13,342 attendance was the club’s fifth highest.
